Pros

You will work with some of the smartest and most charismatic people. The role will develop you and consistently challenge you for a while. It will stretch you in many different areas, that you may not have anticipated the need to own.

Cons

Too many competing priorities. Everything is a priority, there is no opportunity to miss on anything. This leads to everyone bs'ing everything, because that is the only way to keep up.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
